Arsene Wenger has revealed the latest team news ahead of Sunday's game against Leicester City:

on the team news…
It is a similar squad available to last week. There is still 48 hours to go and two training sessions so we will be careful but it will be approximately the same squad. Of course Rosicky [is out], and Wilshere is not ready. But everyone else should be available

on Danny Welbeck…
I think he is very close. Fitness-wise he is there, it is just competition he misses. It is a bit early for him maybe but he is now back to full power in training. It is a big possibility [he could be involved against Hull next week]. We gave him one or two days recovery after the under-21 game, but now he is back in full training. He has worked very hard and he is fit.

on Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla…
They are back running, they are on a fitness programme now so it means it is not a question of months anymore, it is a question of weeks for them to be back. I can’t count on them in the next three or four weeks but everybody else yes [I will count on them].
